(Literally, "defecating a fishhook"). ==== Usage notes ==== This is a highly colorful, sarcastic, and hyperbolic expression used by frustrated household members or colleagues waiting for someone to vacate the restroom. Taga refers to a curved fishhook. The visceral imagery suggests that the person inside is taking forever because they are attempting to pass an object shaped like a hook, which would naturally require extreme, delicate, and painfully slow care to avoid tearing the body. It is used to mock someone who is either suffering from severe constipation or simply wasting time on their phone while occupying the stall. ==== Synonyms ==== natulog sa banyo (idiomatic; sleeping in the bathroom) ==== Related terms ==== libang (to defecate; relieve oneself) taga (fishhook)
